Sheridan-Emmet Park

A Green Oasis in Manchester

Tucked away in the Kalivas/Union neighborhood of Manchester, New Hampshire, Sheridan-Emmet Park spreads across 5.7 acres of urban greenery. This nearby destination offers a much-needed breath of fresh air for nearby residents looking to escape the concrete jungle without traveling far from home.

Paths to Wander & Gardens to Grow

A looped walking path winds through the park, fantastic for those morning jogs or evening strolls when you need to clear your head. One of the coolest features here is the City's Community Garden - a space where neighbors become farmers, growing everything from tomatoes to zinnias. There's something incredibly satisfying about watching a community nurture plants together.

Play Areas & Hoops

If you've got kids in tow, you'll appreciate the two separate playground areas where little ones can climb, slide, and burn off energy. These playgrounds sit conveniently across from a public school, making them a natural after-school hangout spot. Basketball enthusiasts can shoot some hoops at the two basketball courts - whether you're practicing your three-pointers solo or gathering friends for a pickup game.

Room to Breathe

Sometimes you just need space to spread out a blanket, toss a frisbee, or lie back and watch the clouds. The open green space here has you covered. It's nothing fancy - just good old-fashioned grass where you can do your thing, whatever that might be.

Behind the Scenes

The Manchester Parks and Recreation Department keeps things running at Sheridan-Emmet, but like many public spaces, it faces its share of maintenance challenges. You might notice some litter here and there on busier days. If you're visiting, consider taking that extra step to toss your trash or even pick up a piece or two that isn't yours - those small actions help keep this community space enjoyable for everyone.
